Good morning all you good buddies,
To bring you up to date, we have now obtained and are in the process of assembling two 26" x 24' plus two 21" x 18' pontoons into a vessel on which we will mount our slide in pickup camper to use to celebrate our 50th anniversary next fall by cruising up and down the Mississippi River.
(We have decided against going down the Ohio due to all the locks and dams involved. Thank you all for your valuable information and advice.
We have now purchased a 1988 Mercury Classic 50 in mint condition for the primary power source. We will also have on board one of our 25hp Mercs as a spare in case somethin happens to the Classic 50.
The prop that came with the Classic 50 is 14P which I fear is a bit too agressive for the vessel we are planning to push.
Can you suggest what pitch I should purchase for this vessel? I would keep the 14P on board for a spare.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely
Macamato.
P.S.
Here is a picture of my bride laying the keels for the MARY E.
